Thinkingguest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Home from church today, filled my tank for the cost $81.50. So things for us will have to change. Because I believe more increases are to come. We will park one vehicle and share ride to work and consolidate trips. We will no longer shop at Wegmans and go back to Aldis for everything. Eating out will stop. Pizza night will now be Aldis pizza cooked at home. My daughter will have to choose between dance or music lessons. I hope someone in our government understands what higher gas price do to the average American. Just trying to stay ahead of this and cut the budget before the CHAOS to come.

Momma Mia Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I was just thinking about this a few days ago when I saw gas at $3.93 per gallon. I will be cutting back on my Time Warner services, start paying attention to sales and coordinating that with coupons, buy less brand name products and more store brand, go back to using Aldi's for the basics and Pine Ridge Grocery for deli and bulk, make less frivolous trips to the store and plan my outings and purchas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I just paid 3.9399. I've been cutting coupons, and sale shopping for years. I assume I'll just spend less somewhere, but not sure yet where exactly that will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomas Paine Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Continued near double digit unemployment; $4 (and rising) per gallon gas along with rising inflation for every product that's transported or made with petroleum; a third war; a failed stimulus undertaking; a health care debacle that cost him & his party the national elections; absolute zero leadership qualities as Japan & the mid-east catastrophies exploded on to the scene; and look for this sad excuse for a President to get re-elected. The kind of stuff that should've and did cost Jimmy Carter the Presidency. But that was 40 years ago and Carter didn't have the race factor in his favor. Deny it if you need to. But then you'd have to also deny that the Reverend Wright debacle would've cost anyone else their candicacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your 1st sentence you can change 2 things: first, instead of going to church why don't you worship at home with your family?, and, second, what are you driving that cost $81.50 to fill up? You should consider trading it in for something a little more economical. I pay about half of that to fill my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tomato Termoil Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Might I suggest that you free yourself from the necessity of succumbing to ever increasing gasoline prices permanently as I have.

Your ignorance is showing. When gas prices increase, everything else increases. Thanks for caring, but I am not in a tailspin, I believe in being proactive, rather than reactive. Better to make positive changes now, than be in financial crisis later. I enjoy my job, I would rather stay at a job I like, than to be at a job I hate just because it pays more money.

There are people right here in this county who, through no fault of their own, are starving, and you want us to feel sorry for you that you had to spend 81 whole dollars filling up some gas hog and you'll have to endure frozen pizza?

I'm parking one of our cars. Monday I start taking the bus to work. The monthly bus pass is cheaper than filling my car with gas. If it works out, we'll get rid of the extra car this summer.
